Well, at least your heirs would have a payout to look forward to. I don't think there's any way of "dealing" with rabies once you contract it. Which is why they give you shots first and observe the animal second.

Since the Milwaukee protocol for treating rabies was invented, there have been 6 survivors out of 37 attempts, most of them suspected of having a weak strain of the virus, and all of whom ended up requiring extensive rehabilitation afterwards. Before 2004 there wasn't a single documented survivor in all of history.

One survivor (out of three total before the Milwalkee Protocol) out of hundreds of cases of Rabies since 1989.

You must feel lotto lucky.

I'ma go play with raccoons now because rabies is totally not dangerous any more.

Only a fraction of bites from rabid animals infect the creature or person bitten. That's why "hair of the dog that bit you" or any other bogus treatment works most of the time. Depends on the strain being adapted to the species. Dogs bitten by a rabid bat may just become immune to rabies 9 times out of 10. Bitten by a rabid fox 95% of the dogs may catch it.

I don't even know if they test for rabiesvirus when they do the donor bundles prior to the harvest op. It's rather rare in the United States to begin with.

The article says they don't--too slow.

Milwaukee Protocol. It's controversial, it's dangerous by itself but there have been survivors.

I was just correcting the statement that no one had survived before the Milwalkee Protocol. If you want to turn that into an endorsement of playing with rabid raccoons, Darwin will be very happy.
